Kyle Busch makes another winning move by providing special homecoming ride
Kyle Busch made more than one winning move last Saturday.
Yes, he won the Kansas Lottery 300 XFINITY Series race at Kansas Speedway. But he also gave Holman Head, a student at Auburn High School in Auburn, Alabama, a wonderful surprise prior to Holman’s homecoming dance.
According to WTVM.com, Holman was asked to the dance earlier in the month by a lifelong friend, Taylor Johnson. Taylor knew Kyle Busch was Holman’s favorite NASCAR driver, so she decorated her car to look like the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota that Busch drives in the Sprint Cup Series.
Busch saw a story posted about it, and decided he wanted to help make their homecoming experience even more special -- so he sent along a video with the surprise message.
“Hey, Taylor and Holman, Kyle Busch here. I hear that tonight is your homecoming dance,” Busch said in the video delivered to the couple, according to WTVM.com. “I also hear that Holman, you’re a pretty big fan so I just wanted you to know I appreciate that... We are going to send you a No. 18 interstate Batteries Toyota Camry to give you two a ride to the homecoming dance.”
Busch also sent along signed hats to wear for the occasion. Head’s mother, Amy, told the television station that Busch helped provide a homecoming night for her son that he will never forget.
“He is faced with a lot of 'nevers' in his life. … He will hit the replay button in his mind (on Saturday night) over and over again,” she said.
Thanks to Busch, more special memories no doubt loom right ahead. Busch also informed the homecoming couple that he wants them to be his personal guests this race weekend at Talladega Superspeedway.
Can't wait to meet these 2 this weekend in Dega! Hope u all had a great time at the dance. https://t.co/KtrHCRyeQ5
